I got nothin'
I think it's time for me to go back to fangirl posts where I talk about how cute the players are. 'Cause there's nothing cute about the way the 'Canes are playing.
6-1 loss to the Flyers. There aren't enough Goobers to help me today.

For those of you who may or may not be concerned by the lack of posts, I'll be with you shortly, I promise. For now, you'll just have to settle for Tweets.

The season's here! The season's here!
The Rangers, including one Marc Staal, did the Top Ten for David Letterman last night. I kinda wanted to punch Sean Avery when he did his bit.
Henrik Lundqvist got the best line, "How can anyone concentrate on hockey when Jennifer Aniston still hasn't found love?"
They also carried Madonna (gag) to the stage atop a bunch of hockey sticks. It was kinda cute, but she seemed so over it.
So the season is here, and to celebrate I am going to a poetry reading tonight.
Go. Me.

Farewell to a Caniac Blogger
The Acid Queen is shuttering her palace. I am marking the occasion because hers was the first 'Canes blog I'd ever read. She was also the first to welcome me onto the bandwagon. All hail!

'Canes lose their first pre-season game, and Facebook sucks
Just in case you were living under a rock last night, the 'Canes lost their first game to the Preds 4-2. All reports seem to indicate that Eric Staal and Erik Cole were in fine form, and I heard quite a bit of action from Ray Whitney and Tuomo Ruutu as well.
Let's hope this is just a warm-up for the games that count, and that they're just working out the kinks.
In other news, Facebook is having major service problems and is curiously silent on the matter. The fans, however, are turning nasty. A quick survey of posts on FB's fan page reveals a litany of complaints, ranging from posting problems between Wall and News Feeds, application errors, incorrect notifications, disappearing comments and the now-defunct Chat feature.
Is it a coincidence that this week Facebook announced it was finally cash-positive? Hmmm.

My thoughts on this week's Canes news
Getting back into the blogging groove is more difficult that I'd anticipated, so please bear with me. If you're expecting pearls of great wisdom, prepare to be disappointed. It's just me talking to hear myself talk.
With that in mind, I offer a few thoughts about this week's news. There's not much to talk about in the month of August, but I did notice a few things.
- The Stephane Yelle signing rang no bells for me because I don't know anything about the guy other than that he's played for Boston and helped the Avs score a couple of Cups. Hopefully his addition will result in us having more than one line scoring at a time, something that's been lacking for the past few seasons.
- Bubba at Canes Country posted a poll as to whether or not fans think Brind'amour should continue as Captain or relinquish the 'C.' Normally I'd be screaming at the mere suggestion of a new Captain, but given what I've seen of him, I don't think he even cares and it certainly wouldn't affect his work ethic. So if I'm right in my assessment, why should I care? You want to give it to Staal? G'head.
- I did manage to catch the feature story on WTVD last night of Pete Friesen's new workout regime with Staal, Brind'amour and LaRose. A postcript to the story mentioned that Brindy and Rosey had to wear 20lb. weight vests because the exercises weren't quite challenging enough. Wow. I have to say it did put a little spring in my step this morning as I headed in for my own workout. I was hoping to get into decent shape to walk the Friesen 5K next week, but I'm not sure I'm up for it.
And finally, I want to congratulate Ashley of The Life and Times of a Caniac for two important milestones: attending college and achieving 600 blog posts. Ashley was one of the first to welcome me into this little community and I want to wish her well.
